Description from the seller
Daum, extra large figure, elegant rooster in clear crystal from the famous French workshop Daum France. This sculpture reflects the brand's distinctive mid-20th century modernist style, characterized by clean lines and fluid shapes. Manufacturer: Daum (Nancy, France), founded in 1878. Material: High-quality lead crystal (usually 24% lead), known for its exceptional brilliance and transparency. Identification: Authentic pieces have the signature "Daum France" engraved on the base or lower part of the figure. Technique: While Daum is best known for its pâte de verre (colored glass paste) technique, your figure is made using a cast or blown solid crystal technique that emphasizes the play of light.
This figure is also a sports trophy. Fédération Française des Sociétés d'Aviron (French Federation of Rowing Societies). This inscription is engraved on the object.
Organization: It is an umbrella body for rowing in France, founded in 1890. Name change: The federation operated under this exact name (FFSA) until 2013, when it changed its name to the shorter Fédération Française d'Aviron (FFA). This indicates that your item was probably manufactured before that year. Nature of the object: Given the crystal workmanship and engraving, it is most likely a sports trophy, award or commemorative gift given by the federation at competitions or anniversaries.
